West Ham's Olympic Stadium plan ratified
London mayor Boris Johnson and the government have backed West Ham United Football Club's (WHUFC) plan to take over the Olympic Stadium.
The Premier League club - working with Newham Council - was identified as the preferred bidder for the venue by the Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC) last month. An OPLC spokesperson said: "This completes the first stage of this process and means that we are now able to enter into negotiations to agree a lease for the stadium."
WHUFC vice-chair Karren Brady added: "This will be an Olympic Stadium to make everyone proud, a multi-sports, multi-event arena that will be both a spectacular local and global attraction."
